Chapter 677

Bang, bang, Bang... The noise accompanied by the vibration under him made Ren 8000 feel that he might fall apart at any time.

In an open space surrounded by fences outside Lan City, a circle of 400 diameter railway tracks are coiled on it. A train pulling two wooden carriages runs along the railway tracks, making a continuous clang sound.

Ren 8000 and the female emperor and others were in the second carriage behind the train. With the wind, the thick smoke from the locomotive came

"It's much faster than an ox cart." The Minister of punishment said, feeling the wind.

"And it's much more stable." The crowd said one after another.

With the world's roads, wooden tires and shock absorption, even taking a car in the city requires extremely strong hips, not to mention outside the city.

After leaving Lancheng, as long as the ox cart is a little faster, it is a disaster, which can make you spit out all your internal organs.

"It just smells terrible." Shaonong Secretary Qing said with his fish clothes covering his nose.

"After all, there are advantages and disadvantages." Ren 8000 smiled and then introduced to the crowd: "this kind of train can reach 70 Li in half an hour, 140 Li in an hour, and can run up to 1680 Li in a day. It only takes two days from LAN city to the Northeast capital or the northern capital capital, and this is only the current speed. It can continue to improve or even double in the future!"

"So fast? Don't you have to rest?" Immediately someone asked in surprise.

"This is not a creature, so we don't need to rest like livestock. As long as we have enough coal, we can keep moving at this speed all the time." Ren 8000 explained to the crowd.

"Moreover, this kind of train can pull a large number of goods. The load of a carriage made of metal is equivalent to about 60 ox carts. A trip can pull dozens of carriages, equivalent to the load of more than 4000 ox carts. It doesn't need so many personnel and so much food and grass loss.

This kind of train can not only carry a large number of goods, but also be used to transport troops. In just two days, tens of thousands of troops can be sent to both the northeast and the north. This also saves a lot of time and food. Especially when there is war.

No matter the speed or load capacity, it is completely unmatched by livestock pulling cars.

More importantly, with this thing, it is much easier to rule the cloud country. No matter what happens there, you can respond and dispatch troops in time. All kinds of materials from the cloud country can also be transported back in large quantities. "

"Hiss --!"

Everyone sucked in the air conditioner.

People may not be very clear about the concepts of load and speed, but they immediately had a relatively clear concept in their hearts after talking about the load of more than 4000 cattle carts and two days.

You know, a cart of horned cattle is only more than 1000 kilograms. As for the speed, it is even slower. It can walk more than 100 miles a day at most.

In other words, one day's train running is equivalent to more than 4000 ox carts walking for ten days.

The human and material resources and food and grass needed are astronomical.

Not to mention the reduced time, even the ancient people understand the value of time.

In such a contrast, everyone in the field was shocked and beamed one by one, as if they could drive the train straight to the clouds tomorrow.

"Governor Ren's words are very moving and I'm also very excited. But you know, these so-called tracks alone consume more than 200000 kilograms of steel, enough to arm 10000 troops.

How much iron does it take thousands of miles from foot to cloud? More than ten thousand pounds! There may not be so much iron to empty Damo mountain, and it will take decades or hundreds of years. " Tuwan directly poured a basin of ice water on the people and poured it from head to foot.

People don't have to break their fingers. It's scary enough to hear that these things cost more than 200000 kilograms of iron. What's more frightening is the cost of spreading the cloud from here. That number has completely exceeded people's concept of numbers.

They always feel that the number is inexplicably far away, as if it could never be completed.

Everyone stared at TU Wan and Ren 8000. They didn't know what to say.

"Isn't that impossible?" Someone sighed.

"No, no, no, my plan is to connect from Lancheng to chuyun in ten years, not to the Northeast capital guard." Ren 8000 waved his hand. "Listen to me, everyone."

"Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. Although there is a shortage of iron ore in Dayao, there is no shortage in chuyun. As far as I know, there are seven known iron mines in chuyun, and I'm afraid there are others that have not been identified.

This railway is calculated according to 4000 Li. According to the standard track, 200 kg per meter needs 40000 kg of steel.

Even the smallest iron ore mine has 100000 kg of iron ore. according to the content of 50%, there are 50000 kg of steel, which is enough to build such a railway.

Ten such railways can be built for smaller iron mines and 100 for medium-sized iron mines.

Therefore, you do not need to worry about the amount of steel consumed. It is clear that there are enough steel reserves to consume.

As for mining, that's not a problem. A prisoner of war only needs to dig ten kilograms of iron every day, which is more than three thousand kilograms a year. The iron ore that comes out of the clouds is not da Mo mountain. You adults don't think they can't mine ten kilograms a day alone, do you? 100000 prisoners of war can dig enough iron ore for us in two years. " Ren 8000 directly put aside the others and calculated them for everyone with numbers.

As for the mining of iron ore, it was not a problem in his eyes.

The physical quality of people in this world is much better than that of people on earth. If there are problems, there are so many ground wheel experts who can solve them. If they can't, they can also transport mining explosives. Compared with the previous mining methods on earth, there are too many mining methods and the difficulty is too much reduced.

"Moreover, we can directly build an iron and steel plant in the Northeast capital Hufu. After smelting in the Northeast capital Hufu, we can directly lay railways from there to China. Even if we fail in the end, those rails can also be used for other purposes. It only consumes a little manpower and food. What we consume is war prisoners, and we can still get a lot of iron and steel.

If it does, it will be a matter of eternal merit, and the cloud region will be firmly in the hands of the Empire. "

After Ren 8000's words, people began to think deeply.

"Although I don't know how much I need, what Ren adult said is right." Qinchuan scratched his head. "Ren's insight must be better than me. I think it can work."

To know that this railway track can really be realized, the military department is also the beneficiary. The troops can be mobilized at will. Thinking about it, he felt excited and spoke immediately.

"I think what Ren adult said is also right. If this is done, the whole cloud area will be in the palm of your Majesty's hand. Even if you pay some, it is worth it." Shi Qing said slowly.

"I seconded." Kou Zhehai nodded.

"I know Ren's insight and ability." Copper Zhenye hehe smiled, and then the voice turned: "but there is so much iron in the cloud?"

"Sure, and sure. Iron is one of the most common substances in nature. As long as iron ore is formed, the quantity will not be too small. Moreover, I always say in the most conservative way. Most of the iron ores that can be found at the cloud exploration level are open-pit mines exposed on the ground, and the reserves and ore quality may be higher than I said.

In particular, three of the iron ores are very close, and it is likely that a large iron ore is buried underground.

The location of the three iron mines is where the Bingfeng from Zidong to Duhu is currently located.

As long as the front continues to push forward, these three iron ores will fall into our hands. " Ren 8000 said.

As soon as he said this, even Tu Hong had nothing to say.

After all, if such a railway achieves the effect mentioned by Ren 8000, it is too valuable and worth their risk.

Besides, they don't have to pay much.

Whether it's a mine or a prisoner, it comes out of the clouds. The most important food and grass problem can also be solved by the high-yield food such as pumpkin and sweet potato brought by Ren 8000.

What they have to do is to lay down the clouds, which is already planned.

People have coveted the wealth of the cloud for a long time.

Even without this goal, people will not let go of this fat meat, not to mention that this fat meat is already on the chopping board.

Today, Dayao has sent 60000 reinforcements to the Northeast capital guard house one after another. In addition, the original army of the Northeast capital guard house has a total of 75000 troops, which is close to the national strength of Dayao, and all have been put into the cloud direction.

As it turns out, a quarter of the land has been lost and the country is in a panic.

They jumped off the train and watched the train run for six hours. As Ren 8000 said, they didn't slow down at all, so they were satisfied and went back to the city to arrange the next things.

The plundering of iron ore and the laying of railway tracks have become one of the most important things in people's hearts.

Zizhu university should also continue to improve the design of the train to ensure that there are no problems. If you can double the speed as Ren 8000 said, everyone will wake up with a smile.

Let them fight the summer. They have nothing to say and prepare for the war immediately.
